After medical exam, Joe Biden diagnosed with prostate cancer
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former U.S. President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his office confirmed Sunday. The diagnosis follows a recent medical evaluation prompted by urinary symptoms, during which doctors discovered a prostate nodule.
According to a report by AP News, Biden was evaluated last week, and further testing confirmed the cancer on Friday. His office stated that the disease has already spread to his bones.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management,” Biden’s office said in a statement. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
Biden, 82, served as the 46th president of the United States from 2021 to 2025. Since leaving office, he has remained publicly active, though his health has been a growing subject of concern, especially after he withdrew from the 2024 presidential race, citing issues tied to age and vitality.
While further information on his treatment has not been disclosed, updates are expected in the coming weeks as Biden and his medical team assess viable options.
